Partner:Several organizations of the German peace movement are currently running a campaign to ban the last nuclearweapons which are stationed in Germany. In the eighties huge protests out of the civil society has been successfuland most of the intermediate-range missile, called Pershing II, has been disarmed in Germany. But the treaty wasjust this February canceled by the US and Russia. In our world there are still more than 14.000 nuclear weaponsremaining! The peace-workshop Friedenswerkstatt Mutlangen invites international volunteers from East and West tostudy peace and support activities against nuclear weapons.The workcamp will start in Mutlangen, a former location of nuclear missiles, 40 km east of Stuttgart. There theblockades against the missiles have been successful. In the second part we move on to the military air-baseBuechel on the Eifel hills, where still nuclear weapons are stationed. Participants will get to know and discuss historyand actual questions of nuclear disarmament, trust-building and non violence.All volunteers are invited to stay in the resistance camp until 16th of July. If you are interested please contact campleader.The campaign: Twenty nuclear bombs are still kept in the airbase Buechel. They belong to the US Army and in caseof war, they would be flown by German pilots on the command of the president of the USA. Instead of abolished, asthe international law demands, these weapons are going to be upgraded. The campaign Buechel is everywhere -Global Zero Now demands the stop of the so called modernization of the bombs, the removal from Germany and alegal ban of all nuclear weapons. The campaign is part of ICAN, (International Campaign to abolish NuclearWeapons), which got the Nobel Peace Prize few years ago.

And together we will design and create an artistic installation for the so called peace meadow in Buecheland support the campaign against the remaining nuclear weapons. We believe that campaigns for nucleardisarmament and nonviolence conflict resolution are messages worth to be spread in the media. We invite you tolearn from best examples in peace building and to help us to share these examples in social media as messages ofpeace. If possible you can translate them into your language. Such skills are particularly welcome!Study part: Volunteers will receive information about nuclear weapons, ongoing nuclear armament programs andefforts of disarmament and reconciliation.

Description

Partner:Since many years now we offer this successful workcamp together with the protestant community center"Petrusgemeinde". The international volunteers are invited to the Asylum Centre for two weeks to take part in thedaily life of the refugees. In the study part of the camp, we want to inform about the situation of refugees in Germanyand Europe, as well as the current developments in the area of Asylum-policies. We want you to get in contact withthe residents of the Asylum Centre so that we can learn about their stories, difficulties and perspectives.The Asylum Centres for asylum seekers in Hessen are located at the edge of the city Giessen. There are currentlyaround 600 asylum-seekers hosted in former army barracks. The refugees are in Germany because of variousreasons, e.g. political, ethnic and religious persecution or poverty. Usually they stay at the facility for few monthsuntil a decision has been made about their application. Sometimes they are sent to other centers or to other safecountries where they entered the European Union, or to their countries of origin. Most of the people living in theAsylum Centres in Giessen are from Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Eritrea and Balkan countries: Young men,women, children and older people. The asylum seekers live in simple conditions and are not allowed to work orleave the district in which they live. Their permission to stay in Germany often is limited and so is their contact withthe locals living in the city.

Work:Together with the refugees we want to organize common activities, where the women and children are taken intoconsideration. In addition, our goal is to get in contact with the young members of the local protestant church to raisegreater awareness for the refugees and to break the isolation of the refugees. We will prepare contact with studentsof the university that are willing to take care of the medical issues of the refugees and to pursue the legal issues ofthe asylum law. We will also get in contact with students of the University who medicate people without legal status.We especially invite volunteers to participate, who are able to speak Turkish, Arabic or Farsi. Besides organizingcommon activities with the refugees, we plan to construct some furniture made from old palettes together. They canbe used outside, and will be nucleus of a meeting point of the inhabitants of the center.
